My son and I had the gluten free chicken Parmesan, which was amazing!
Knew a lot about gluten free/celiac. Had yummy pasta and no reaction as a celiac.

Excellent eggplant Parmesan. They use homemade breadcrumbs! Limoncello panna cotta for dessert was delish. Highly recommend.
Had the chefs table so were able to talk through options and precautions taken. Very knowledgeable. The best bolognaise sauce ever!
Best meal on the island so far. Excellent Italian restaurant with great customer service. I had the mushroom/spinach pizza (they substitute the regular sauce for a marinara) and I was skeptical because it’s a cauliflower crust but it was delicious. The mushrooms and the smell of the garlic, and all the cheese…it was heavenly. Also had a Blueberry Cider from Ola Brew. And, the torte…as good as everyone else reviews say it is. We sat outside with a view of the sunset…this should be a must-eat if you’re coming to the Big Island. Expensive, but you’re worth it!!
Absolutely delicious and safe. Pizza (excellent cauliflower crust), pasta carbonara, an incredible mushroom potato prosciutto soup and hazelnut flourless torte with gelato, all gluten free.
So so good. Almost everything on their menu can be made gluten free. We tried pasta, chicken milanese, pizza, and a chocolate hazelnut torte and all were amazing. They seemed very knowledgeable
Everything was delicious - they have GF pasta, pizza crust, and breadcrumbs available.
Excellent food and very considerate of dietary restrictions. Can’t wait to go back.
Our server was knowledgeable about Celiac Disease and made sure to tell the kitchen for us. Our food took a little longer because they were wiping things down and making sure everything was safe. Pizza was delicious and we enjoyed dessert and coffee as well. Make a reservation, they are super busy.
Server and staff were very conscientious about Celiac dietary restrictions. My eggplant parmesan with gf bread crumbs was just devine from start to finish! Gf pasta is also available.
Once I mentioned I was celiac they asked a number of questions and said they were very aware of cross contamination issues and used a dedicated area of the kitchen. all cooking surfaces were sanitized before using for GF preperations.
My son has gluten and dairy allergies. He was able to eat a fresh vegetable and chicken gf pasta with red sauce. He said it was very good. Server was very knowledgeable and careful about allergen safety.
Normally I rate a place on how safe it feels, and overall they took great precautions and I had no GF issues.... but this was the most bland Italian food I have ever eaten. I ordered a dish with pancetta and mushrooms, and had one piece of pancetta and two mushrooms. Good for GF not good for taste.
Staff was very knowledgeable about celiac, and ate here without any issues. They have gluten free pasta, and breadcrumbs so I was able to order chicken parmigiana (not on the menu they have eggplant and veal parm on the menu. But server told me they could make it for me). The portion size was massive and covered in mozzarella. It was delicious, and I was excited to be able to finally have breaded chicken parmigiana at a restaurant!
Although they don’t have a separate gf menu the staff was very knowledgeable about safe items. They are very contentious of cross contamination. They have gf pasta and pizza. I had the rustico pizza- it was very flavorful.
Outstanding food and service. Pricey like everything on the island but worth it for us having a great time. They take it serious here and have a lot of options.
Fantastic service and I loved the gluten free eggplant parmigiana. So nice to go to a restaurant and not get sick. I have celiac disease. I’ll be back 👏😍
Super awesome food! Everything but four options on the menu were gluten-free and it was nice to eat out and have pasta at the same time. The food took a while to get, but it was worth the wait.
These guys were GREAT!! Our waiter Jared became kid2's favorite waiter of all time ever, with his endless patience, respect for celiac needs, and can-do attitude. GF pizza was great, and they were kind enough to put together a special GF pasta dish for kid1 because the special that kid1 really wanted wasn't available GF. Highly recommend for celiac diners.
Gluten free pasta was good and pizza was also. A little pricey.
Fantastic! They have gluten free pizza crust, pasta, and bread crumbs. I had a fantastic eggplant parmesan and it was 100% gluten free... such a luxury for someone with celiac eating out. Highly recommend!
Delicious GF penne with pesto. The GF options include pasta and pizza. More affordable than the fancy resort restaurants, and delicious!
Excellent service, wait staff and kitchen very knowledgeable. Ate here twice, first meal was amazing. The chef had to alter the mac nut goat cheese salad (normally goat cheese is coated and deep friend) so she coated it by hand and baked it, delicious. Wild boar and kale pasta was awesome, as was the chicken with arugula. Pasta with clam sauce was only so-so, but all very safe, no cross-contamination.
Excellent food and service. I enjoyed gluten free margherita pizza, classic rigatoni ala bolognese with gluten free pasta and delicious limoncello panna cotta! Restaurant is open late daily to accommodate locals and tourist - 1am or later! Located in the Waikoloa Village shopping center.
The best gluten free pizza on the island! Super yummy kale salad too. We've eaten here many times and I've never gotten sick. They take gluten free seriously. Love this place.
Wonderful food. Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. All pizza can be made with a gluten free crust. Gluten free pasta available too. Sauces vary...some are gluten free. The grown ups enjoyed it as well as the kids.
